fits closely between a group of coils 27 and another group of coils 2 8, the body portion ot said block fitting against the outer coils (iv and 18 and between the arms of the yoke 22. Holes are provided in the block 2st to receive the clamping bolts f2.5 which pass through the two arms of the yoke and the block and are threaded into the frame 2. It may be found desirable in some, and perhaps in all, cases to cover the yokes or clerises Q3 with insulating material, such tape, which may be readily applied before the yokes are placed in position on the machine. rl`hc body portion of the spacing block 2st may be extended to serve as a support for a plurality of cross-connections 29 and 30 which pass through holes in the block that are perpendicular to the clamping bolts 25 and in a plane farther from the center of the core.

Although I. have shown a specific form of coil support applied to a specific winding, I desire it to be understood that any variations in the size or 'form oit support, or in the kind of winding to which it is applied, that do not materially change the mode ot operas tion or the result obtained, shall be regarded as within the scope of my invention. It will also be understood that my invention not restricted to use in connection with the windings of the stationary members of electrical machines, whether generators or motors, except insofar as limitations may be imposed by the character of the Winding or the service to be performed.

I claim as my invention:

4. In a (ilynamo-electric machine, the combination with a stationary slotted armature core, a supporting frame therefor, and a winding comprising a plurality oit coils, portions of which are located in saidarmature slots and other portions of which are located in planes substantially parallel to the ends of said armature core, of supporting means t for the external portions ot' said coil ,y that comprises a yoke, a separating block and means for clamping said parts to the armature trame.

5. In a dynamo-electric machine, the combination with a stationary frame, a magnetic core supported thereon and provided with a plurality of slots and a winding partially located in said slots, of supporting means for said winding that comprises one or more yoke pieces partially surrounding said winding, and spacing blocks between portions of said winding and attached to said yoke pieces, and means for fastening said parts to the supporting frame.

G.- In a dynamo-electric machine, the combination with a core provided with a plurality of slots, a supporting :trame and a winding partially included in said slots, of supporting means for said winding that comprises a plurality of yokes land spacing blocks attached to said frame, said spacing blocks acting as supports for cross-connections between points in said winding.

7. A coil support comprising an insulating block, a yoke or clevis and one or more bolts that project through said block and the ends of said yoke or clevis.

8. In a dynamo-el`ectric machine, the coinbinaton with a frame, a slotted core supported thereby, and coils located in and projecting beyond the ends of said slots, of a series of insulating blocks fitting against and between adjacent coil ends, yokes )fitted over said blocks, and means for fastening said blocks' 100 and yokes to the core frame.

9. In a dynanio-electric machine, the combination with a trame, a .slotted core and coils located in and projet-,ting beyond said core slots into different planes, ot' radially disposed insulating blocks fitted against and between the coil ends that are in different planes, yokcs or clevises that int-.lose the coil ends and means for fastening them to the corresponding blocks and to the core frame.
